Applied NanoFluorescence, LLC (ANF) manufactures and sells state-of-the art optical instruments to detect, characterize, and quantify nanomaterials, especially single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and other near-infrared fluorophores in bulk samples (e.g. Ag2S and PbS quantum dots). Applied NanoFluorescence, LLC was founded by Professor R. Bruce Weisman of Rice University and Dr. Sergei M. Bachilo. Weisman and Bachilo are internationally recognized as the pioneering researchers who led the discovery and interpretation of fluorescence spectra from single-walled carbon nanotubes. The products offered by Applied NanoFluorescence embody these scientists' deep expertise in spectroscopic instrumentation and analysis. Its analyzers offer the highest sensitivity available plus sophisticated software that automatically deduces and reports detailed sample compositions.
